More signs Clinton still in the race

Yawn

What are the 16 names? So we can see who the closet racists are, or those easily bought?

Go Hillary! Go down swinging! Hopefully one of your blows will strike you and take down your legacy once and for all. Thanks to your bad behavior, you reminded me of why I hated you and your husband in the 90s.

It is a shame that reporters make opinionated statements instead of reporting facts. Hillary Clinton would make a stronger candidate against John McCain in Nov. John McCain is running a campaign that slightly resembles Hillary's positions. Some say she is more of a Republican candidate then Democrat. Taking that into consideration McCain is talking to Hillary supporters across the country sharing his beliefs. If you connect the dots that spells trouble for Obama. Hillary supporters as many as 50% have already said they will vote for McCain. Looking at the numbers if the large voter turnout of Democrats go to the polls in Nov and say at least 33% of independents, and 33% of Hillary supporters along with Republicans go to the polls McCain will when in a landslide. So if you are a McCain backer as a reporter it is in your own self interest to report Hillary's defeat. That puts McCain in an advantage to beat Obama. On the other hand Democrats are so blinded by the hero worship of Obama that they are foolishly believing they can win and that Hillary voters will go ahead and not cross party lines. But in a short history lesson look at Regan. He easily captured the democrats "Regan Democrats". Are we about to engage in a new area of "McCain Democrats". Polls suggest that this is very plausible. So if you are a Super Delegate what are you going to do in the best interest of keeping all these Hillary supporters with the Democrats? Hillary could put the Mayor of Philadelphia as her VP. That would bring a lot of Obama supporters to her side. I really believe that there has been a conspiracy to keep the Clinton name out of the Whitehouse. It all starts with the double standards of Kennedy and Kerry and Dean. Those three men are of the old party that did not reach the Whitehouse in their runs and used the Florida and Michigan to their advantage to quell gender biased opinions of their own. They have done everything in their power to not count these votes until the last minute. They have not fully considered the ramification of these disenfranchised voters who stated their preference of Hillary Clinton in record setting numbers in Florida. If a poll of Florida women were conducted reviewing voter registration party affiliation switching from Republican to Democrats it would be mind boggling. Those voters and many others who have been silenced by a Party that claims to represent all people of all classes and equality for all is disgusting. We are a nation of 48 states now in the Democratic Party. This tatic will not go unnoticed by the people of Michigan and Florida. The super delegates have been put in a very bad position because logic and polls tell them Hillary has the better support from the most crucial states but the medias biased reports have made a bad situation look worse. The media is stirring up black democrats and liberals to cry foul- she stealing the election. The party elders need to take a stand to quell this disenfranchisement and not be afraid to endorse the stronger candidate. Anyone who has been following the Chicago politics know it is very possible that the Governor of Illinois may get indited. Rezko may cooperate in exchange for information that will connect Obama to these problems. That is not good in an Election where Democrats can make a come back.

Marie, you are dead on.

But seriously, I didn't really entertain the notion of Hillary deliberately sabotaging the 2008 election so she can run again in 2012 until now. But if, at this point, she continues actively trying to keep the party divided when she cannot reasonably win, it's hard to see another explanation. If she wants to stay in the race, that's just fine, but it's time to stop cutting down a fellow democrat. THAT, and not the continuation of the campaign, is what is really damaging the party.

Her comments yesterday about "hard working white voters" were offensive, and I say that as a hard working white voter. She's not just promoting those who vote for her, she's writing off those who don't, and that is absolutely irresponsible. She should be castigated by party leaders for her divisive and destructive behavior.

If Hillary had half the racist, terrorist and criminal baggage that Baraka has, she would never have even been able to run in this race. Look at his friends, criminals and terrorists, his America-hating, racist minister, his relatives in Kenya, Fundamentalist Muslim terrorists. Good Lord, people, do any of you really think that doesn't matter?

Go Hillary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I will not vote for Obama ---------------

Give it up Hillary, all you're doing is hurting the party........

Hilliry cannot see the forest for the trees.
Why doesn't someone on her staff have the balls to tell her it is time to go home?

bless the writers and good for them for standing up and being counted.
the arrogance of obama overwhelmes me, and sharpton saying to hillary to leave the stage is like telling john wayne to get out of town...

Will the last person to leave the room turn out the lights!!

I am very happy to hear their are a lot of political persons still supporting Hillary Clinton. Not jumping ship, like the others, that surely shows bad judgment, on their part. Will their bad judgment cause them to loose their seat in office come the next election? They have to support the will of the voters and they have not done so.

If you cannot get most of the voters in a friendly (?)Democratic party, how can you be expected to get most of the voters ("a stronger nominee") in a hostile non-Democratic environment?

Good for Clinton. This party needs to break apart. I think it's pretty funny when the O-bots say "Oh, Clinton supporters will come around and vote for him"

Yes, go ahead and yawn and fall asleep. You will wake up in November wondering what happened.

If nothing, his letter will make sure superdelegates flock to Obama .. the Clintons have dug their own graves over the year and now are burying themselves in it too. The DNC would rather lose the general elections fairly then nominate Clinton unfairly. For the candidates, the game ends here but for the DNC and its members, this is a long term decision.

Right On !!!

There are a great many "Rip van Winkles" who are "yawning". Didn't that gentleman yawn for 20 years. Well, only 4 will do enough to continue our nation's four years of destruction. Barack is a fine gentleman; he is not ready at 2008; he would be in 2012. Hillary is ready!

For sure, John McCain is not the leader we need in 2008!

Sixteen OUT OF TOUCH non representative individuals who have the same baggage problem as Hillary and Bill do not speak to the american public. Never have we seen any individual or two (Bill) who strongly feel the have the "right" to be dishonet, untrustworthy, untruthful, etc. while OBAMA is behaving like a stateman and refusing to get into the mudslinging style of the Clintons. Shame on the whole Clinton entourage!!!!

As a democrat, I refuse to vote for Barak Obama...
He is weak, inexperienced and will crumble at the first tough situation that happens...I also believe...that his connections are a big concern and will come back to haunt us. I don't fall for his smooth demeanor, superfical charisma and fluff.
He has had no solutions for the tough issues. It's sad to think we will be in the same boat or worse for another 4 years. It doesn't matter whether it's Obama or McCain.

I would assume - by the laws of the journalistic - that all above are facts.

Does it mean that Obama won purely on swrednesss of campaigning ( in which case, what makes him different that the other politicians in Washington) ?

Seriously... Give it up.

Most primaries don't continue after "Super Tuesday". The notion that all 50 states need to decide in this on is ridiculous.

MI & FL had ample warning that their delegates would be discounted. They chose not to comply. Is counting their votes a civil rights issue? I certainly think it is. But the blame rests solely on their respective lawmakers.

Terry --

You speak with the highest integrity and earnestness, for a car salesman.
You are not only damaging the Democratic Party and Obama. You are damaging Hillary's legacy.
She wanted to make history. She did make history, just not enough. So, she is history.
Get real. A candidate who cannot win her own party's nomination in the primary and caucus system of selection even with a 12-year head start and near-100-percent name recognition is not a viable candidate for the Fall.
Plus, her supporters will vote for Barack. In part because Hillary and Bill are going to help, right?
As an Obama volunteer, and on-line contributor, I am willing to go on-line and make a small donation to Hillary to help retire her campaign debt once she withdraws and decides to live for another day. This day, this contest, this year is Barack's.
Respectfully,
JM Fulton, Jr.

that train is still going? i thought it derailed...

And the Clinton scorched-earth policy continues ... if she's can't be the Democratic nominee, she will do everything in her power to help McCain win in '08 so she can take another shot in '12.

Who are they? Where are the names?

i also know that Hillary Clinton is the best candidate America needs. I ready to vote for her

If you want a look into the heart, mind an soul of Barak Obama, (and you all should, because he is destined to be the next President of the US) read his book "Audacity of Hope." No ghost writer wrote this book, or his first one either. Barak wrote both of the books himself. If you criticize this man, and raise questions about his character, qualifications or love for this country before you read this book, you are just plain lazy.

Good luck with that.

Completely self serving behavior from Hilary should not be a surprise to anyone at this point.

She is the Dainiel Plainwiew of Politics. "I drink your milkshake"

Why don't Hillary just run as an Independent candidate and let the Democrats select Obama do what they are known to do best...Lose!

Dear Hillary,
I so want you to win. And how much I wanted your win moreso than yesterday after i saw that image of Obama with all those men walikng on the Hill. It was an obscene shot of him walking toward the building with all thes powerful men in his trail! Shame on the heads in the Democratic party for engineering your loss even before the race began- with that idiotic ruling on Florida and Michigan. I only hope they can change that and the fight cna go on until the convention. Isn't that what conventions are for? Why should anyone be just be crowned? .I watched you constantly ontelevision working so hard. You may be rich, but that does not mean you don't have a feel for the underpriveleged. Obama and especially his wife, however, they are so busy climbing up the ladder they can't bear to look to see what's below them. Can they not just have all the delegates come and just vote for who they wish forget about pledged and unpledged? That can change the game? anyway, i would like to see you continue the fight. You ahve done women proud!

Hillary's self-centered delusions of grandeur will ultimately result in the (once again) defeat of the Democratic Party. She should have conceded months ago and allowed the party to centralize on one candidate and focus on beating the Republican candidate. As it now stands, the party is so fragmented that McCain hasa virtual lock on the election regradless of who the Dem's field. You go, girl. After all, its ALL ABOUT YOU!

The HillDog is both ferocious and fearless. She is hiding in plain sight waiting to strike and shred the Obamaniac. Be very afraid Hope-A-Dopes, HillDog will be victorious.

hillary is the only logical candidate to run sgainst mccain! most democrats that i have talked to have stated that if hillary doesn"t get the nomination, they will vote for mccain. it looks as if hillary will be a shoo-in if she gets the nomination.

Why does hillary think she will take all of her supporters votes with her when she fails? Most of her "followers" will still vote democratic. If she cant see that... The money collected by each campaign really tells the true story. Obama has the supporters and hillary doesn't.

Double yawn. Incredible that she thinks her win in states where she has the backing of the entire Democratic machine means something.
Obama 08

Hillary will not go down in history as the first woman president.
However, she could have gone down in history as the first "First Lady" in history to stand up to the mental and emotional abuse that her husband showered upon her by walking out the door.
THAT would have made her a champion, a role model, a historical figure of infinite proportions. To demonstrate to woman eveywhere that no one, not even the "First Lady" deserves to be disrespected.
In the end, Hillary did what woman of her generation did, she "stood by her man" as Tammy Wynette so eloquently wrote. But Tammy did one thing Hillary did not have the courage to do, Tammy left her abusive husband

Obama has the "Math" for the Primary.

Hillary has the "Math" for the General Election.

So who really is the better candidate...that means WIN in November?

Obama #1. McCain #2. No to HRC. HRC has only bad experiences in her life and career. Is she going to run this country like her campaign, her family, or her oversight role in Bill's Presidency? The US can't take that. McCain and Obama know how to manage organizations and they have integrity.

Well, is there any media outlet that has the courage to tell the truth?

Barack Obama is losing the white vote - look at PA/NC/IN exit polls. He CANNOT WIN. What the hell is wrong with the DNC? Do they want to lose the election in November?

Propping up Barack Obama as though he has a chance is pure folly.

I must wonder if the Clinton supporters will continue stating they will back Senator Clinton even after the primary ends and Senator Obama wins.

Look, I understand why women want a female president so badly. If it was almost any other woman besides Clinton, I'd be backing them 100%. But the fact is, Clinton was running off of her husband's name and her husband's appeal. If we're going to have a viable female candidate, we need someone with charm, intelligence, and who doesn't have all the baggage Clinton has.

It would be far better to convince your candidate to hang up her jersey and retire, and in four to eight years work with another female candidate who has a better shot of winning the election. Clinton is done. She fought well, but she angered too many people with stupid statements and this belief she is owed the White House. Well, she's not owed it. And all the claims to the contrary just confirm the opinions of her detractors that she should not be President.

Since when are the people of Pennsylvania more hard working than the people of Oregon? Why do the voters in traditional but decaying democratic strongholds who elect governments that can't seem to reverse their rusting demise matter more than people in areas that aren't self importantly old and blind to their own decline?

Enough with the "but they are East Coast states and therefore more important" b.s. They are stagnant in population, the West is gaining population. Deal with it!

Just because they are supporting Hillary does not mean they are racist!
I am sick and tired of black people ALWAYS insinuating race as a factor.

A black men and I support Hillary!

Hey Pearl,

Why do you hate democracy so much? Oh, maybe you've been in MA too long.

Hillary is either an outright liar or delusional. She claims that she's the one the country wants to answer the emergency call at 3 am, but she also claimed that the reason she "mis-spoke" about being fired upon in Bonsnia was that she was tired.

So which is it? Is she delusional when she's tired, in which case nobody wants her answering emergency phone calls in the middle of the night, or did she deliberately (and repeatedly) lie about being under fire?

Delusional or a bald-faced liar. Neither makes for a good President.

Yeah, you'll be yawning really hard when we Republicans take the White House in November ! Americans will never elect that unpatriotic, left-wing, confused loser. Go McCain !!!

The idea that Hillary has the most broadest appeal to moderate Republicans and Independents is farcical, and she couldn't win a majority of Democrats in the primary.

"Broad appeal..." I thought the term 'broad' went out with Archie Bunker. ;)

Hillary! Hillary! Hillary! You're the one who has tha capability to make a change and you are the stronger candidate against McCain.

I believe Hillary is the best canidate for President and is still able to win. GO HILLARY!!!

"Shame on the heads in the Democratic party for engineering your loss even before the race began- with that idiotic ruling on Florida and Michigan."

What? They engineered her loss before the race began? Then why wasn't she crying foul before the race began? Arguing that Florida and Michigan is one thing, depending on what your definition of 'counting' is. However, to say that this was a conspiracy on the part of the DNC to ensure Obama's victory is asinine.

Hilary affectionados please look at her voting record, every time she has had a chance to do some good she has failed. Hilary believes that she is entitled to be president. Her campaign which has been nasty is very similar to Karl Roves work. What part of her campaign are Hilary's supporters proud of her lies about being under fire in Bosnia, her statement that she would destroy Iran or her race baiting. An election should not be about emotions we need to vote for someone who gives us hope instead of the same old crap.
Furthermore Hilary should have left Bill after his White house sex exploits.
Enough of the hypocracy in our government.

hillary is nothing but a self motivated loser. Have any of you gone to a party where there's that drunk at the bar "just gettin warmed up" when everyone else is leaving to go home. There's the great hillary sumned up right there. If you really believe that all these people will vote for mcbush in nov. than you're not a hillary supporter your a republican, there for you should not be telling democrats what there going to do. It just sickins me that all these so called democrats AKA republicans in hiding,and femonist war mongers that like to obliterate country after country,and last and the very biggest class of them all the hillary biggots thats right coming out of my 25 year old white mouth. You disgust me get some education in your simple minds you racist pieces of sh!t. If you all really feel that the dems will lose the nov election and you're worried about it than vote for Obama in nov. It's just that simple but I guess hillary was right with the un educated people in this coutry vote for her quote so I'll slow it down for you folks. If your primary came and went and you voted for billary all you need to due is the same in nov. just check the obama box this time.

Go, Go, Go, Hillary. You will make it! I'm proud of you and so are the many people I chat with every day. You have what it takes to be a true leader and you have shown, in the past, how strong you are. What do we really know about Obama? It isn't his color that bother's me. but many of the people he has associated with and who he considers his friends, not to mention his inexperience.. The present administration has given us nothing to be proud of. I love my country and want, desperately, for it to be a, once again, respected around the world. It will only come about if Hillary is elected. God Bless her for wanting to take on that responsibility, I know, I wouldn't want it.

I just contribute to Hillary campaign. She is the better candidate than Obama.

GO HILLARY!

I've noticed that most Hillary supporters are Obama bashers and vice versa. So sad that you all don't realize that this country is on the wrong path. It would've been great to have had the dream ticket Obama/Hillary or Hillary/Obama, but alas that can't be the case anymore. Whatever happens, just go out and vote democratic, enough is enough. God bless America.

Hilarious is any Clinton supporter criticizing Obama for the people he is associated with. I don't have to repeat the list of unscrupulous sleaze bags and criminals associated with the Clintons over the past 20 years. We all know it by now.

I remember candidates being selected in close fights at the convention (when I was much younger). That was part of the excitement of a political convention. There are plenty of things that need to be ironed out in Denver, I think the DNC would be smart to frame the close race and the Convention as an exciting time for Democrats.

It is very scary we do not know anything about Obama!!!!!!!!!!!
That the reason we do not trust him.

I agree with Valrie Sommerville.She is dead-on with her analysis. It shocks me the amount of misogynist feelings out there. It's not the only cause for her slide, but it is definitely out there. If she were a man, her pragmatism would be viewed as conviction, but being a woman, it's labeled "bitchy" "ruthless" and other vile terms.There is a double standard for women reaching the highest office in the nation.

Pathetic.
It is not about her gender or misogyny. It is about her overt racism--among a variety of unethical dealings and dirty tricks and disgusting gutter trawling. As a woman, I feel NO PRIDE, only shame in Clinton's candidacy if we are measuring these things by gender alone- over character. Clinton is not a role model, with her embrace of the very worst aspects of arrogant sabre-rattling and ignorant maschismo and her haughty "frankly" decrees like she is the Queen of entitlement. Obama, however, is a honorable figure who all Americans--especially African-Americans can feel proud about.
It is about the content of one's character after all.

The democrats have a nominee and his name is Barack Obama.

Hillary has gone postal. She now has to count on racial divisiveness just to get on the news. She has effectively put a "Whites Only" sign on the front of the White House.

She's acting like a jilted lover that wants to kill the party that threw her over and then commit suicide.

Keep at it Hillary. "Obliterate" any chances Obama has in November...he's as unfit to lead this country as Iran is to control nuclear weapons. Hillary Democrats will become McCain Democrats and we get Hillary back in 2012. Maybe then the party will realize that it takes a real candidate, not a charismatic guy and a good speech writer, to become president.

It is DEFINITELY not a gender thing. In fact, the people in the Clinton campaign that have disgusted me the most are all men (Mark Penn, Phil Singer, Howard Wolfson, BILL CLINTON)

I believe Hillary is showing signs of a woman who has been mentally abused. She has put her all into this race because she had to swallow so much of her pride as she stood by Clinton as he denied to the world he was recieving blow jobs in the White House. The embarrassment had to be a dent to her self esteem. If she had won President, what a boost in her esteem that would have made. The way she ran after a Senate seat after that whole fiasco. She no longer focused on her home life or husband because she may have felt a failure in those areas. She redirected her energies elsewhere. Somewhere where she felt she had control of the situation. Why not dominate the area your philandeering husband made his home--politics. That's my analysis of what's going on. This isn't about anyone else but Hillary. She has selfish motives but understandable. It's not about the good of the party or helping people. It's a way to gain back some kind of self value when the one you made vows to stripped that from you in front of the whole world.

I could read this stuff all day long. Hillrats won't vote for BO. Obamites won't vote for HRC. As a republican this is entertainment at it's best! McCain 2008.

Do we AMERICANS have a vote? Do we stop, think, read and really decide what is best for everyone? Are AMERICANS being driven in their thinking by media, big business and all who are driven by selfishness,power and greed instead of thinking what will be the best government for ALL the people? Will we be a country that is governed by the representatives who can look at all the problems everywhere on this planet? Popularity is not a reason to vote for anyone.

re #2, Gael,

It's Obamanaics like you that force me to vote for McCain this November.

I think that is a great thing that Clinton supporters are so passionate about their candidate. What saddens me that some of these Clintons supporter would want to continue the Bush policies that have overstretched our military, failed to help Americans in crisis leaving families displaced (Katrina) a policy that has all but gutted this nation because of feminism and bigotry or both. It is one thing to support a candidate because you agree with their policies and in turn believe those policies will help this nation. It 's another thing to allow yourselves to be defined as "uneducated whites " which to me is as derogatory a term a the "N" word and then act the part by going anti-democrat because man named Barack who happens to be African American may very well be the solution to problems caused by those who have "experience". This isn't the 1960's people, I voted for Bill but the writing is on the wall hopefully others realize that voting for Mc Cain is nothing short of suicide. This is the same "scorched earth tactic" that has embodied the Clinton campaign and you folks wonder why Obama is winning. People are sick of the politics of intolerance and bigotry. People have had enough of "Kitchen Sinks" , "Swift Boats".and "Racial Divides". What "real democrats" folks who are desperate for change want to know is who can help me keep my home? Who can help me keep my job? Who can drive down the price of gas? Who has a plan to help provide affordable healthcare? Who can bring my husband ,wife, son or daughter back from a senseless war in Iraq alive? That is what matters and not some of trash I have been reading by these saboteurs aka so called Clinton supporters wanting to take their ball home because Hillary can't play anymore. America has become a 2nd class nation and will stay that way thanks to Bush, his clones and the democrats who vote for them.

Hillary Clinton is a hero and an important historical figure.
She ranks with Martin Luther King, Betty Friedan, Jesse Jackson, Rosa Parks, Gloria Steinem and other American heroes. And like all truly important figures who change the world for the better, has been vicioulsy abused.

Keep on going Hillary! You deserve the presidency. You're the best candidate by far by far. Keep on running - as an Independent if necessary.

She's a carpetbagger ! She assumed That the people of New York were here constituency-Why is that ? She now has determined she is entitled to be president because she was Bill Clinton's Wife?

Senator Clinton has not been able to gain the majority support of her own party and there is no reason to conclude that she would do better in the general election with people that do not identify with the Democratic Party. The senator is free to do what she likes, but grace under fire is demonstrated by the wisdom to duck and withdraw before one gets totally embarrassed and irreparably damaged.

It might be time to turn out the lights, the party’s over. But one is free to be a hanger-on and end up wearing the lampshade, however the hangover may be a doozy.

I will, not vote for obama and as a american voter I WISH TO KNOW THE NAMES OF THE BACKERS WHO PUT OBAMA IN THE RACE TO TRY TO UP-SET SEN CLINTON iT HAS karl rove WRITTEN ALL OVER IT SUCH AS THEY DID WITH BUSH USING The RELIGIOUS PEOPLE from a obama friend I am a white blue eyed devil

Its amusing to watch the democrats struggle on who to alienate.They cant take the nomination away from Obama because it will outrage the black voters.Without the black vote they cannot win.On the other hand they are struggling with the fact that Hillary has won the swing states. Hillary has dropped bomb after bomb against Obama to the degree that her supporters in the last poll have said that around 45% of them will not vote for Obama.They are in a no win situation. i cannot think of one policy change Obama will make that will affect my life,and with Hillary i think it will me more of the politics as usual. With all the greatness in this country it is a sad commentary that these are our only choices for the leader of the free world.

I 've been a Democrat for 30 years, however, I am completing the paperwork to change my party affiliation to none. I am sick of Ted Kennedy, Nancy Pelosi and the other backstabbers. I remember very well when Bill Clintin gave Pelosi prominence in Congress. He was the kingmaker of many of the Democrats currently supporting Obama. As an independent voter, I will not feel guilty when I vote for John McCain in November.

By Clinton's own words, the popular vote should have counted for Gore but not for her. She is such a hypocrit!

The Republicans will applaud Obama because in my opinion Barak will be easily beaten by John. If Barak wins I will be a McCain-Democrat. Remember Reagan-Democrats

Oregon Poll Vote for HRC in 2008!

HILLARY or MCCAIN 08!
I WILL NOT VOTE FOR A MOVEON-OBAMA-STOLEN-NOMINATION OBAMA!

"re #2, Gael, It's Obamanaics like you that force me to vote for McCain this November."

Chris, grow up and take responsiblity for your own actions. Vote for whoever you want to vote for, but no one believes anyone is "forcing" you. That's the excuse my five year old makes - her brother "made" her do it.

What has happened in this election cycle is that we demonized Mrs. Clinton. Her opponent is one of the most unqualified candidates & surely has no cache. As in 2000 we elected the worst president in American history and 8 years later are traveling towards real train wreck. I am a Clinton supporter and will stay one right to November even if I have to write her in.

As a long time Democrat the party big wigs have sold us some really bad merchandise & if you think 2000 was bad wait until 2009. Go Hillary please do not quit now. Norman

N

Go Hillary.

Go Hillary.

FOR THE PEOPLE; NOT FOR the communist party.

My wife and I will not vote for hillary. She is the most disengenious of all.

My wife has a nice bum.

It is not relevant if Hillary has a nice bum or not. That is a sexist statement.

Hillary is a pathological liar !

Hillary Clinton needs to give it up already. She's behaved like a child throughout this entire primary race. From the tears the night before in New Hampshire, to the "plagurism" accusations, to her ripping off Barack's "Yes We Can" chant. This woman is so used to having things her way, she has no clue what to do now. As a loyal Democrat, I used to like the Clintons. Now I understand why the GOP hates them so much.
There is no way you could seel the idea to me that Hillary would be a better candidate to go against McCain in the general election. They hate the Clintons so much, they have been waiting for a chance to go against her for a very long time. Do any of you dillusoinal HRC supporters have any idea the amount of dirt the GOP has ready to throw at the Clintons? Seriously, think about that for a minute. Why in the wolrd do you think Rush Limbaugh has been urging conservatives to register as Dems and vote for her? They would rather go up against her than Obama. All they can throw at Obama is this crap about not wearing a flag lapel pin and stuff that people "associated" with him say.
After all we have dealt with in the past 7 and a half years, I cannot believe that some people get so stupid about things like that. Nevermind you just had a guy in their that has the blood of our young men and women on his hands, but he wears a flag pin, so I guess he's all right. What a croc.
Anyone that still thinks Obama is a muslim, or a terrorist, or any of that other crazy stuff, wake up already. Why don't you do us all a favor and go out and get an education. Because you are a moron. Barack Obama is the epitomy of melting pot and the "American Dream". He has more courage than any of you put together that hide your racism behind those sort of weak reasons for not supporting him.
As a female, I definitely want to see a woman in the White House someday. But not her. Not Hillary the Liar. She'd give a bad name to females and we'd never get another chance at it again.
I cannot wait for Barack Obam to be my president. I look forward to being even further engaged and involved in the workings of my country, and making it a better place for all of us. He will be the kind of leader that RFK would have been. Don't take this opportunity for granted, America. This is fine man we can all be proud of. Get over yourselves.

I dont think Obama needs to scared of the possibility of Florida and Michigan Revote or someway of counting those deligates - He has a chance to run the course and prove that he is the real nominee - So why dont he go ahead and support that effort? Looks like Obama campaign and supporters still has this iota of insecurity, which is evident in most of their comments - If obama is the one, let him earn it fully - He certainly can, but he needs to appeal more broadly by supporting a revote. It can be all 'fair' for the country as a whole then...

This whole caucus, and proportional delegate system stumps me...The general election has 'winner takes all' policy - Some states are so RED and some are so BLUE that election almost always comes down to a few battleground states...Both Obama and Clinton seems to have issues in having a mass appeal..

This whole Democratic primary design is flawed badly, it should mimic the national election (winner takes all and all primaries) so that the process itself dont choose the wrong nominee. It matters only when things are as close as it is now...

Mrs. Clinton is wasting her energy and the money from american people for a FUTILE cause.

We will se the % of West Virginians that comit political suicide with her

If Ralph Nader can run, so should if Hillary if the democrats nominate the racist , and have the racist and McCain lose to Hillary. Go Hillary!! This democrat is not voting for Obama!

to all the supporters of Hilliary,
i understand your grief, your dismay, your lost, but the reality of this primary is that the people have spoken clearly. black and white, brown, orange and otherwise all democrats, some republicans as well.you will have to decide which do you hate the most, another eight years of republican rule or act like true democrats and subordinate your dislikes and rally around the party nominee. its simple

From the posts in this thread the Clinton supporters appear to be the most vindictive, self destructive people I've ever seen. You're saying that if you can't have your way, you'll vote against all of the programs you've ever supported by giving McCain the power to pack the SCOTUS. How dumb is that?

Go Hillary. Never give up.

I will support Hillary all the way through November. I will write her name in or a will vote for McCain. I can't stand Obama. He is lying that he never heard his minister talk about the US starting an AIDS epidemic. LYING. I imagine he didn't agree with his minister's w ords, but he did hear them before so he's lying about it now. notice how he carefully sidesteps the question - I wasn't there when he gave that speech. (But i was there when he gave other like minded sermons.) He lies. If Hillary exaggerates - as we all do - BIG deal!~!! She owned up to it! Obama pretends he's a SAINT. Who has been working with the Republicans in the senate HILLARY! Who can bring economic wealth back to this country? Hillary. Who is the strongest, smartest, best candidate to lead this country? HILLARY!!!! HILLARY!!!! You idiot super delagates!!!!!!!!!!!

Eight Belles ran a great race, but now she is down. The only filly in the field. Somebody, gently, put her out of her misery.

Many of the people that bet $2300 on Hillary also bet $2300 each on McCain and Obama. They want to be invited to the winner's circle.

If Hillary has the wider base of hard working people, who are the 1.2 million donors that gave less than $100 to Obama? Show us the money, Hillary. You too, John.

Hillary was not against excluding Michigan and Florida before super tuesday, I'm all for conspiracy theories, but realise they can be disproven. Please look up logical fallacies, so you can recognise them when you see them.

Also, Hillary Clinton was once a drug dealer, has killed several people, and actually is a muslim, meaning automatically she is a terrorist, but she also is a communist and eats babies, and has fourteen illetimate children. She is also a neo-nazi/ku klux clan racist, and dabbled in the dark arts.

You read it on the internet! IT MUST BE TRUE!

Stop attacking Hillary and Obama, they are both applicable candidates, neither of them are evil. If the reason you are voting for one of them is because you hate the other and want them to suffer, then you need help, and I feel sorry for you, and I mean that for Republicans too, I feel sorry for you for resorting to these tactics, this is our counrty, and yours too, and we should all want a leader that is good for America, who you vote for should not be for any other reason then this is the person who you think will be the best leader of America, this isn't a game, it's serious.

Those who vote for Obama are pollyana "he will save us." people who are looking for a savior for a problem that can't be solved by one person. Obama will do nothing but screw up on the left the same way Bush screwed up on the right. He cannot win the November election. Hillary can. A vote for Obama is a vote for the weakening of America; a steal from the rich and give to the poor strategy never has worked because the poor predators have stolen from the poor victims and continue to do so. A vote for Obama hastens the day when we will be speaking Chinese.

Please tell me.......How many africans do you know that were born in America?????? Get a life you people, I do not owe you one.

IT SIMPLE, FOLLOW THE MONEY- If Clinton is the stronger candidate to go up against McCain in November as she claims, why is it she is out of money and Obama is swimming in money. Cash represents support, No cash translates into no support. Its about time for Clinton to give it up. Obama has conducted a very shrewed campaign which has been relatively consistant and has had no money problems. Both Clinton and McCain have had to restructure their campaigns and have both had money problems. This is proof enough that Obama would make the better leader of the USA for the next eight years.

Here is a moving message for Hillary on Mother's day. I copy it here from Hillary's web site:

Happy Mother's Day, Hillary
May 9, 2008

Dearest Hillary,
So wonderful that your lovely daughter, Chelsea, created this opportunity for me to honor you.

As this campaign arrived in Pennsylvania, I was touched by your courage. I looked deep inside for mine and knew mine could grow.

When you won Pennsylvania, I was touched by your grace and optimism and energy. I looked deeper inside myself and challenged myself to increase those qualities in me.

When your campaign slammed into a wall on May 6th in North Carolina, I witnessed your resolve, your resilience, and your Technicolor vision of yourself as our President. That is the same vision I see. I looked inside and sighed because I have a lot of growth to do to more fully develop those qualities.

We women are internalizing the image of the woman you are as you create with every breath you take a new paradigm for female confidence and leadership and ownership. Women are in awe of your strength and your will. Men are in awe of your strength and tenacity and your brilliance.

You are creating an extraordinary new "life," which did not exist before these moments in time that we are sharing. I know this is your destiny. You are the Mother of our possibility. You see far beyond the labor pains of our ripping out of the old models and into a new expression of female.

You are already creating a new and real Female Archetype. I feel it taking hold in the collective consciousness of males and females in all of our diversity. This country is ready for the shift to the deeply feminine style of leadership of inclusiveness, protection of safety and quality of life, and compassion.

Thank you for giving birth to a new experience of a fully realized female in the role of most powerful leader. I am indelibly encouraged by you. The imprint has been made inside all of us. You are already a great success.

Rise, Hillary, Rise.

Happy Mother's Day.

With Love,
KT in NC
for Hillary

by KT in NC for Hillary at 5/9/2008 5:32:17 PM

ALL YOU HILLARY PEOPLE MAKE ME WANT TO PUKE.

OBAMA 08

I WISH WHEN HE WINS IN 08 I COULD GO UP TO ALL YOU PEOPLE WHO SAID HE COULDNT AND SLAP YOU.

CLINTON=MCCAIN=BUSH=SAME OLD CRAP=NOTHING CHANGING IN THIS RETARDED COUNTRY

OBAMA=CHANGE

It is unbelievable to me that this is still a question in Super Delegate's minds. I mean, if I were hiring a teacher for my kid's school, I would select the one with the best resume, not the one who says he "really likes kids" but has NO credentials for the job. Hell, that makes him just as qualified to be a pedophile! Barack HAS NO CREDENTIALS. C'mon, people. Enough of this already. Aside from being in deep denial, what on earth goes on in the mind of an Obama supporter to keep defending him? John Kerry is a decorated war hero, and the republicans convinced Americans that he's not patriotic. Can you image what would happen to Barack in a general election?? He has no military experience or the support of any military authorities. He has NO foreign policy experience (but pretends to). He has some very shady dealings with Rezko, Wright, Sinclair, Ayers, etc.... Enough. Stop defending him. If you are busy in denial, seek counseling. Take a deep breath, and just let your delusions go. This man is NOT presidential material.

I'll tell you that Obama can rap better den Hillary. Ain't no dispute about dat!

The sign seems to point to one direction. McCain will win the presidency simply because he is a leftist republican which actually will put him closer to the middle. It is something that the majority of people would rather go to rather than going the Obama way.

Obama for president? Oh please..., grow up people. This guy is to the left of democratic party. He has zero experience. He is all talks and no actions. He already proves time and time again that he can't win one of the most important voting groups in the swing states. Heck, he can't win against Hillary to capture this voting block. How in the world you can convince anyone that he can beat the leftist republican like McCain who can very easily get these people to line up behind him in the general election. These co-called Reagan Democrats have no allegiance for democratic candidates. They are the wild cards, and they are the ones who will make sure that Obama will be beaten to oblivion in the upcoming election.

My prediction: McCain will win a landslide. Unbelievable as it is, we'll be under tutellage of a republican president again, even after the destructions done by the Bushes. Rather sad really. You can Blame it on the "O2", Oprah and Obama for making this "dream scenario" for the republicans possible.

My 2 cents.

pp

Im with you Norman Solow, I'll be writing Clinton too. Not only Hillary Clinton who was demonized, even Bill Clinton! One of the best President who brought down poverty by more than 30% and once regarded as the "First Black President" was smeared and somehow labeled as a racist! The only racist people are people like Gael who thinks that if you don't vote for OBAMA you're a racist! Keep it up Gael and push me towards voting for McCain.

If Barack Obama gets the nomination, then I will vote republican for the first time in my life. I really liked Barack when he first came on the scene, but too much negative things about his character have been brought to light to seriously consider voting for him. For anyone to say that I'm not voting for Barack because I am a racist is like saying that I wouldn't vote for George W. because I was unpatriotic. That is old school politics and that is why I didn't vote for W. twice. That is one of the reasons that I am not voting for Barack this time. I believe if Hillary or John Edwards ran as an independant in the election, they would win. I am beginning to believe that the third party should be called "conservative democratic".
The far left or the far right leaves us with little choice.

Top Clinton adviser Harold Ickes was quoted as telling Time Magazine's The Page on Tuesday: "We don't need an 'October surprise.' And (the chance of) an 'October surprise' with Hillary is remote." He is right, there will be no surprise as she canNOT win then.
The basic problem with Hillary is not her pathetic denial of party rules, math, or economics, but her evident inability to beat McCain even if she would manage to con the nomination. The case is that not only herself, but some brain-washed less-educated voters either are confusing being a fighter and being a b-word.
Being a fighter means to be ready to sacrifice your dearest personal things like your life or health to win, and Hillary is ready to sacrifice just her voters' money (and maybe few of her family's ) and her party's election success, nothing personal. Being a b-word means to say or do anything to thwart somebody (what she is consistently doing).
Therefore, they can only deal with good guys like Obama who tries to show "some constraints" when competing with his party fellow. But they have no chance against a real fighter, with no ever constraints, like the older outgoing soldier McCain who already made real personal sacrifices in Vietnam war. Although he was not under sniper fire in Bosnia, but survived 5 years in Vietnam POW camps, let alone being under actual fire over there.

Just recall him joking, with no actual reason, but for fun: Why is Chelsea so ugly? Indeed, if a real competition starts, all Clintons' dirty laundry of 90s, let alone recent developments (like the pending lawsuit in Los Angeles), would be brought to the daylight and put on Hillary, and she would have to go into such a deep defensive position, unless somewhere deeper, that she would not get any chance to even show her ability, much less to have it, for real fighting. Her only real government experience is just a huge baggage of scandals brought from the past:
being a wife of even a good captain of a huge cruise ship does not make the wife a captain capable to manage it. Even if she thinks she can (although she failed when managing just her own campaign), how about us, passengers? Do we want to risk?

Republicans dream to have her as an opponent in November so that even Mr. Rove is now explaining to Democratic superdelegates (fortunately, they are not those less-educated older folks like her habitual voters) on 10 reasons why they should prefer her to Obama. Therefore, voting for Hillary now is like voting for McCain (no surprise, he supports her like they are a team), so think again who you would wish for President.

Here is a brief list of those people who are actively supporting Hillary Clinton’s candidacy: Pat Buchanan, a charming man slightly to the right of Genghis Khan; Rush Limbaugh, the most voluble and incendiary of right-wing talk-show hosts; Richard Mellon Scaife, the media mogul who financed the virulently antiClinton crusades of the 1990s; and, if you read between the lines, even Karl Rove, the “architect” of the past decade or so of Republican dominance in electoral politics.

I think half of you so called Clinton supporters posting here are sicko Republicans and Limbaugh's lemmings . Pretty obvious by the racist , hate filled comments and absurdities toward Obama , but no doubt some of you are Clinton supporters posting these things , not one fact to support Clinton , only a lot of BS , slurs and lies , surely a sign you are white and not very bright . Fortunately the majority of the people in this country , Clinton supporters , Obama supporters , white , black , red , yellow , green ... what ever , are more rational , level headed and more intelligent than you . It will be a real pleasure to listen to and watch you people as Obama is being sworn in as the next president of the United States . Have a nice day ! Obama 08

Sobbing Obama, all I have heard him say from the start, please quit Hilary, so I can win... has she quit yet? lets keep claiming I have won, has she quit yet? Lets keep claiming I have won, I can't win if she don't quit, has she quit yet? Please, I will not vote for the Sobbing Obama, for the arrogance and ignorance and disconnect with the people is already what we have in the White House.
Please, Sobbing Obama, take your own advice... and give America a chance at recovering.... and stop the sobbing... whoever is pushing your money behind you is who will be running us and we have had 8 years of that set-up.

Hang in there, Hillary. The GOP is counting on you.

Your dogged refusal to pack it in will ensure that John McCain is our next President. Would it be too much to ask that your husband take a more prominent role? That would further weaken the Democratic Party and would also be of great help to the McCain campaign.

My fellow Republicans and I thank you for your immense support.

Norman, you know nothing about what you're talking about. To say that Obama is the most unqualified candidate is like saying George W. Bush is the most qualified candidate every to be president. HOGWASH!

Obama is as qualified to president, if not MORE SO, than a majority of publicly elected officials in the United States Congress. He's bright, ambitious, wise too on a number of intellectual fronts, NOT arrogant, has inspired a whole new generation into voting and represents beautifully the NON-white make-up of this country while also representing the white community as well. Obama is a 21st century democrat. Hillary is a 20th century Democrat.

What has happened in this election cycle is that we demonized Mrs. Clinton. Her opponent is one of the most unqualified candidates & surely has no cache.
Norman

Obama is made of air. Do any of you REALLY believe he listened to his "mentor" Wright for 20 years but somehow magically doesn't personally subscribe to the same militant anti-white drivel? What boat did you just get off? I don't want a First Lady who is only proud of our country for the first time about five minutes ago.

I'm embarrassed to see so many politicians jumping ship like rats, thinking more of their own careers than their principles. I'm proud of Hillary. Obama will NEVER get my vote or my respect. I see what's behind his eyes and it's pretty scary.

Hillary has more Democrats and more votes, counting Michigan and Florida which of course we all know Obama and his supporters hate to do. You Obama supporters, if you are really serious about this election, and our country which I seriously doubt based on your childish and self centered behavior better wise up or we will be saying President McCain soon..

If I were the Clinton's I would start preparing for the Peter Paul Trial.

I am so sick of anyone who disagrees with Obama or just plain doesn't like the guy being called a racist or a "closet racist". Do you know how very divisive that is? Obama has created one of the biggest divides this Country has known since 1860, and his followers perpetuate the divisive nature of their cult leader. One of the comments I read here is calling the 16 House Representatives who are voicing support for Hillary Clinton, "closet racists". This is what is means - if you disagree with Obama, or Jesse Jackson (the racist), or anyone else who is of the African American race, you are a racist. We are being told that we have to be gagged or muzzled in a free Nation. This is what Obama and his cult of fanatics represent - you have to agree with them or be "gagged" or you are called a racist. Sickening little minds-- and very destructive to the strengths, integrity, honor, and freedom of this Nation.

Without question, Hillary is the ONLY QUALIFIED CANDIDATE of the three left
standing. If the DNC hands the nomination to Obama, we're headed for a train
wreck in Nov. Bush and Co. have made such a mess of things that people are
looking for a Messiah, and because Obama talks a good game, people think he's
the choosen one, the savior, the black Jesus, etc. We seem to have a country of
blind sheep following the one with the most charisma - it's like they would do
anything for this guy, even jump over the cliff for him!!! I heard a young Obama
campaign worker recently state with great excitement --- "It's like if he (Obama)
said 'Go do the laundry, you'd go do the laundry'

Any person with half a brain knows that Hillary is the ONLY QUALIFIED CANDIDATE of the three left standing. Bush and Co. have made such a mess
that people are looking for a messiah - because Obama talks a good game,
people think he's the savior, the choosen one, the black Jesus, etc. If the
DNC insists on making Obama the nominee, we're headed for a train wreck in
Nov. We seem to have a nationwide herd of blind sheep following the one with
the most charisma, even though very little is known of who this man really is.
The size of his blind following is frightening - I heard a young Obama worker say
recently that Obama is so great - "It's like if he said 'Go do the laundry, you'd go
do the laundry'!!! This statement makes the point that people would do anything
for him, no matter what it is. History is full of charismatic leaders who turned out
to be monsters because the people were too dumbed down to realize what was
happening. There has been an obvious double standard in this campaign ---
Obama has been handled with kid gloves because he's black and no one wants
to be perceived as being racist, but Hillary has been beaten up at every turn
because she's a woman. Perhaps there's still too many men in this 21st Century
who are threatened by strong women - I thought we were past this by now!!!
McCain will be the next President, because of all the disenfranchised Hillary
supporters (including those in Michigan and Florida). I for one will either stay
home, write Hillary's name in, or vote Republican for the first time in my life.
What started out as a history-making campaign will end in disaster if Obama is
the DNC's choice - this would be short-sighted, stupid, and very, very sad.

David Wolff posted at 11:30 a.m., “If you want a look into the heart, mind an soul of Barak Obama, (and you all should, because he is destined to be the next President of the US) read his book "Audacity of Hope." No ghost writer wrote this book, or his first one either. Barak wrote both of the books himself. If you criticize this man, and raise questions about his character, qualifications or love for this country before you read this book, you are just plain lazy.”

Reading Obama’s books is a very good suggestion. Here are some excerpts from his books, both “The Audacity of Hope” and “Dreams of My Father”: Be sure to notice the last one.

From Dreams of My Father: 'I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.'

From Dreams of My Father: 'I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mothers race.'

From Dreams of My Father: 'There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.'

From Dreams of My Father: ; 'It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.'

From Dreams of My Father: 'I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa , that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela.'

From Audacity of Hope: 'I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.'

Dear Hillary,

Do not give up, you can win. Obama will not win if nominated.

In the absence of a socialist candidate I am going to vote for my dog. We need to stop fussing over personality issues and squabbling over scraps from the table. It is imperative that Americans grow up and look real issues in the face, issues like a planet verging on eco-struction, lost civil liberties, impoverishment of the working classes (that's YOU bub) and bankrupting, murderous foreign wars.

What we call the "United States" is simply the user interface for plunder capitalists ruling through bought politicians and a prostituted corporate media.-- all of which would prefer we think about anything other than the real issues. Instead the New York Times publishes "learned" articles entitled "Feeding the Rich Feeds the Poor." (For real).

We need to alter our economy and lifestyle in fundamental ways so as to save the planet from destruction. We need to repeal the Patriot Act and the National Security Fear State. We need national single payer health care and we need free-merit based education so that young people don't start life off $100,000 in debt. We need decent housing and pensions for old people so that they don't have to eat cat food in hovels. We need to stop being self-righteous pricks and learn from other social-democracies who have attained higher and happier standards of living in all respects.

Lastly we need to put an end to AIPAC's disastrous blackmailing political power. AIPAC and a whole cadre of pro-Israeli and Likud-linked "think tanks" have played a major role in embroiling the US in a vicious, futile and bankrupting policy in the Middle East, based on the ultimate and insane premise that Israel is made more secure be degrading all of its neighbors and by artfully weasling out of every compromise that could possibly result in a Palestinian state. We should not have to pay with our lives and treasure for this insanity -- no matter what the Boston Globes editorial pages say.

Hey

What happened to the Gas Tax Holiday, did she just forget or something? She is a Senator shouldn't she be working on that.

Americans have a responsibility this November. The politicians in Washington need to be given a clear message; one that can not be misinterpreted: We should not have gone to war. In many ways I admire what the Republican party stands for. In other circumstances I might even vote Republican. But this year is different. I feel I have a duty to protect the future of this country.

This year the Republican party needs to be punished. The Republican party needs to be soundly defeated in all elections. Frankly it doesnt matter to me who the Republican or Democratic candidate is. No Republican will get my vote for years to come. All politicians need to be sent the clear message that if you help propel the country into a stupid war, your party will suffer horribly in following elections.

Its too late for this war - we need to protect against the next time stupid narrow minded politicians think they should engage in another pointless war.

Every body should be realistic. Since when America has been COLOR BLIND?? jest look at what republicans has being doing to Hispanics? to Blacks? and every body which is not a white?? .It has come on what since the beginning on this campaign, has been said!!! MEDIA, and republicans had being working, against the CLINTON nomination!! and pushing obama, so they will have a free way for CAIN!! mc cain. they were voting for it!! Now the will make cheat out of obama candidacy, (Muslim?, hypocrite, unpatriotic?) All racists working for ,republicans will do, on obama the looser !! they want!!!)The will get the bush 3 her. period!! And the MEDIA will change their tune!!! They will not longer be backing obama, the new media preference will be CAIN.

I think the extreme rhetoric about switching parties, running as independent etc. are from Republican people with an interest in cratering the Democrats, or from small minds for Hillary who can't see the big picture. Neither can win on reality and fundamentals, so they are grasping at what will clearly be revealed as straws.

You know what, all of this chatter is pretty small stuff. For example, trying to label Obama as elite, a liberal's liberal, or of being guilty of all manner of things through guilt by association. It is ridiculous. I suggest to those engaged in it that you might step back and think about your country. Try thinking about what is the best way to get a "win" for you and America as opposed to a "win" for your candidate. Reconsider the mind set of just doing anything, regardless of morality and common sense. Name calling, false accusations and slander are hardly moral approaches. Spend your energy looking for ways to build your fellow Americans up, not cut them down.

I believe that Obama is a natural for President at this time. He will beat McCain as well as Clinton. Why? Americans have had enough and in these elections the people will truly make their power felt. Obama is offering America what she needs. I think Obama was born to lead America at this time of crisis. To bring an end to her long trials and fear and to get her back on her way forward. He is an American opportunity, granted what he looks like and who he is, might be a bit of a surprise to some.

Those arguing that Obama can't win this collar or that collar, this color or that color, this age or that age, this gender or that one, hard working or harder hard working. Well, sorry, everyone's vote is equal and Obama is reaching out to all Americans - each and every one in all States and conditions. He is for them all and will lead and represent them all even those that might not vote for him. He will lead the way that is best for a United (States of) America.

That is what good leadership is. It is not articulating detailed policies on a campaign trail - it is providing the moral compass that provides the bearings for America to move forward. It is providing common sense and clear principles to direct the thought process and resources of millions of Americans who go about their business every day. Sorely missing of late and not available from the other alternatives today.

Open minded Americans watching closely can see Obama's intent. More will see it despite many partisans and destructive icons trying to keep things business as usual. I believe the negative politics of character destruction and guilt by association will not work when used against Obama. It is so extreme, it will simply reinforce his message.

The years of fear mongering and divisive politics, name calling, and labeling people to segregate them from "the main stream", and heinous acts and out right lies (covered up by those that should be exposing them), are coming to an end. Look at all the noise that has been made so far about Obama and of course this will continue - just look at some of the outrageous and sensational comments made over small matters. Yet, it has not and I think cannot damage Obama's standing with honest thinking voters.

President Bush and his administration have been blatant and incredibly arrogant and aggressive with character assassination. I think it makes everyone queasy. And it gives pause for thought - what happens if they don't like me? What happens if I need to speak out?

Why not vote in someone whose goal is to change the politics and who has grass roots backing to do it. Instead of saying you need experience within the difficult complex labyrinthian maze that is Washington, let's just tear the maze down. Let's open up the system so all can understand - that's called transparency and accountability to the people. If we can't understand it the way it is, surely something is being hidden. This change in politics won't come easy but it can be forcefully done with voting power - just vote this type of politics, and politicians that practice it, right out of office. And vote in a President who has articulated and will carry out this mandate.

People have the power to do this in a democracy - it is the underlying strength of America. Admittedly, it is not a perfect system. Some of those that obtained the levers of power, don't mind taking full advantage to expand power unto themselves - this must be stopped cold now! America must not receed to a second or third world country system.

I see in Obama a Reaganesque persona - a positive, clear, and truthful vision, strong morals, principled and tenacious leadership. Not to mention grace and interpersonal skills and the ability to communicate well. It truly is not just words that is going on here. Nor is there any elitism. Confidence, clarity, calling things the way they are - these are desirable and necessary traits in a strong leader.

Open minded thinking Americans understand this and will be able to vote for it now. They will no longer be held hostage to their own fears of the unknown terrorist being stoked by political leadership. I believe they will vote Obama, for his leadership to restore American principles, morals, objectives, relationships and respect. They will take him up on his call to follow the dream of America's founders and seek to further perfect the state of her union.

I encourage Americans to think seriously about your voting responsibility. This is not a reality game played with the idea that your candidate must win at all cost. It is about restoring America's founding and humanitarian principles as the basis for moving forward. Restoring her as a shining example of humanity, intelligent common sense, industry and technological success. Restoring her as leader of the free world and against the dark terrorist forces.

Think seriously about it - like your life depends on it, and like your children's lives and futures depend on it too. Because they do. In both quality and quantity.

Some will try to label what I say here, put a negative spin on it . And they may say I am biased. Well I will admit at the outset that I have a bias, as should all of you. I am pro America, for all Americans including each of you.

I believe Americans of all kinds will push America back to truth, justice, and the true American dream. I believe they will also push her forward to greater unity. And, if there is any form of intolerance it will be for intolerance.

Americans will not stop in this grass roots political revolution until she truly leads the world once again. And, I think there is no better place to start than with Obama.

Hillary will be the right President!
Never give up Hillary, never, fight to the end. The Democratic Party will regret if they cannot see right now.

Hillary was raised in a middle-class family in the middle of a state in the middle of America in the middle of the last century. From that classic suburban
childhood in Park Ridge, Illinois, Hillary went on to become one of America's foremost advocates for children and families; an attorney twice voted one of
the most unethical in America; a First Lady of Arkansas who helped transform the schools to the state that they are in today; a bona fide war hero; a bestselling "ghosted" author; a First Lady for America who helped transform that role into dishonor, becoming a champion for health care and families at home and a champion of women's rights and human rights around the world - except for unborn children, against whom she took her stand.

Since her wind-breaking election to the United States Senate, Hillary has been a steadfast advocate for middle-class families, working to help create jobs,

expand children's health care and abortion, and protect Social Security from privatization. As the Senator representing New York after 9/11, Hillary has

fought to strengthen our approach to homeland security and to improve our communications and intelligence operations. As the first New Yorker ever named to

the Senate Armed Services Committee, Hillary, though she voted for the War, and has stated her desire to wage nuclear war on Iran, has been a tough critic of the administration's bungling of Iraq and a fierce advocate for proper equipment, health benefits, and treatment for military families.

People, get off of the internet. Outside of your little echo chambers on DailyObama and HillaryIs44, we have not one but TWO historic, strong candidates, vying to run against a bad-tempered Bush clone. One of them is clearly going to win it now, can we just get it over with? I hope the sulky threats (on both sides, but we're hearing it more from HRC's side nowadays) are not sincere, but if they are we have to find out so we can (and we WILL) solve this problem and beat Mr. Magoo.

Hillary, stay in the race until the end, Obama can't win the nomination without the Superdelegates. If you are not the nominee, consider running Independent and not helping to unite this party or help Obama run the Presidency, take your supporters with you and run right down the middle agaisnt Obama and McCain, this will help block Obama's Presidency which he does not really deserve or experienced eniugh to do the job. I will leave the Democratic party if Hilary is not the nominee, and I encourage all Hillary supporters to do the same and vote for her as an write-in candidate in protest of her being thrown under the bus for an inexperiencced Johnny Come lately Senator like Obama preaching false hope and change, people are going to be sorry that they took a risk and voted for a candidate that just came out of nowhere to run for such an high offfice given that it will need an experienced candidate to clean up the mess Bush will leve behind, change is not always god in every case and I believe this is one of those cases. Hilary is our strongest candidate to beat McCain and be able to turn this country in the right direction, as opposed to Obama who lack the qualificans to effectively do the job of the Presidency. Hillary never give-up make Obama earn every vote, and then run as an Independent if you don't get the nomination your loyal supporters will be waiting for you in the Independent venue for President.

Go on Hillary. I fully support the idea that you are the president and Obama the vice-president. Hang on until victory.

hillary is the stronger one vote for obama ..we all lose

Hillary; first choice
McCain; second choice
Obama - NEVER

I can observe from all the posts that Hillary has accomplished what she wanted, to bring out hate and division and try to destroy the Democratic Party. Pity the poor rich girl who doesn't get her way. The destruction spin machine has managed to sway minds and falls in line with those who would keep the Black Man down. Could it be that the blue collar votes are not really for Hillary but rather a vote cast against Black?? I resent the ugliness the Clinton campaing has been so successful in conducting. God help us find goodness and right for the United States of America.

After reading all this garbage from democrats -- Bama bashing HRC devotees and Hillary Bashing Obama devotees -- you are all idiots.

If the Democrating party loses in November, it will be because of your shallow, stupid, vacuuous minds who have nothing but disdain for two of the best candidates we've seen in the race for the presidency in years. They're both brilliant. Can't you see that you stupid morons?

Do you really think that McCain is a better candidate? Get your heads out of your bums and think about it.

Hillary is not the witch you think she is -- she's the best woman candidate for the presidency this country has ever seen. Obama is brilliant and perhaps the finest male candidate in years. Forget that he's black -- it doesn't matter. Close your eyes and LISTEN to him! Then do the same with McCain and his whiny voice and meaningless rhetoric, then tell me you still will vote for McCain. If you are a democrat and vote for him, you are a fool.

Hillary haters, you obviously didn't see her when she was at the funeral for the Columbine kids who were massacred in Colorado. I have never seen a first lady cry like that in public. If you had, you would have seen the humanity in her.

I hear the fat lady singing.

I might have voted for Obama before the Wright fiasco but not after.I also have 45 years in the IBEW 134 in Chicago and a bachelor degree in business.I supported Hillary at the start and still support her. Obama you better worry that people like me a staunch democrat like most union workers who are in touch will vote for every other Democrat but you.Signed the formerly silent blue collar majority voter whose vote you need and will never get.

The people on Hillary's staff are too afraid to tell her it's over and to go home because they're a bunch of pussies.

Re: MSM Pro-Obama Bias

Hey, maybe some of you Hillary supporters can now appreciate the extreme leftward media bias us independents have been complaining about for years. Welcome to reality.

This political season again, the democrats are doomed for entrusting their faith in Barak. There are some people who are blinded by their " I can't stand the Clinton" attitude that are selfishly propelling the party to failure again. The question any sane individual will ask will be: Why this time? . May be these people naively thing the tide can never turns agaist the democrat when there are all indications that the democrat has a shot this time. Well, think again. I'm a Reagan Democrat. And, I'm not alone. If there is anytime to swallow your pride, come to your senses and appoint someone worthy and "ELIGIBLE". It is now. All you JUDAS

What I don't understand is how female support of Clinton did not dive as her campaign progressed from enlightened liberal feminist to conservative populist, with her new target demographic seeming a sort of Archie Bunkeri type. A lot of the voting in this priimary season was against one person, rather than enthusiasm for the other. Clinton should realize that the white male who votes for her because he won't vote for a liberal latte black, has not been fooled by Clinton's chameleon-like ways in the rust belt. They woud never vote for Clinton when she is run against McCain. She must be delusional about the solidity of her support. In a general election McCain can easily run against the old Clinton. Her voting bloc is not well educated but I don't think they are that stupid, that they believe a leopard can change its spots. Clinton had an enormous advantage in the primary: Obama would not run the same old Republican smear. campaign. But , these Reagan Democrats (Bush Democrats) bought into the Clinton repudiation in 2000. Sure, they will support her against Obama, but McCain has the advantage that he is white, male, and and they like him. She offers no advantage except on issues , but Clinton didn't get these voters on issues, she got them by signalling cultural affinity. In the heat of the primary she could recast herself. But Hillary is still Hillary. You don't make over your politics in a month for political expediency, and have it stick. In fact that's probably the reason she could hold on to her liberal feminist base. They said to themselves, "This is just an act Hillary has to go through to try to get votes from Obama. This isn't the real Hillary. the one we know and support." I can't think of a more inherently divided base vote than women and white, uneducated low-income males. It just shows how Hillary got into a box, when the educated and the blacks found a candidate they liked better than her. The only chance Hillary would have of holding these voters in November would be if the Democrats were capable of victory no matter who the nominee was, because the country is in the mood to repudiate anything remotely connected with Bush. But then, Obama could too, and we at least know his demographic has stuck with him like glue. And he pretty much took a look at the rules, and played the game based on them and won. Hillary can have flights of fancy about how she can technically get the nomination, but she doesn't acknowledge the legitimacy of her candidacy would be fatally tarnished. That just gives regular people a reason to vote for McCain, based on something as simple as what type of democracy America stands for. Seriously, if we want to be as coldly calculating as Hillary, it would be extremely hard for Hillary to win against McCain just based on who she is, and then it would be fatal to her chances to not even be able to become the nominee in a straightforward fashion. The Republicans would pillory her. And Mccain would have to point out that this is a very legitimate issue for voters to consider as they make this momentous decison. She is a fatally flawed candidate at this point. Democrat's need to realize primary turnout was high because the media made it into a horse-race. It was just a game, to have some say. And many of those voters are going back to their natural McCain territory. It may very well be that Clinton, had she run a strong campaign and won the nomination easily, would have been a stronger candiate than Obama in the general election, What makes me think she would be a very poor president is she doesn't seem to grasp the fact that you can't just make huge mistakes and pretend they don't have enormous implications for one's success ahead. Iowa, and super Tuesday and the February Obama blitz were game changers that fundamentally undermined her chances of successs in November. The current President has a similar mindset in which he can't adjust to a new reality and gets too attached to a vison his earlier mistakes have all but doomed (Iraq) This a fatal flaw in a president , no matter where on the political spectrum they sit.

I have watched both Mr. Obama and Mrs. Clinton speak. I think both should continue all the way to the convention. Mrs. Clinton is a smart woman, sharp, intelligent and with so much to give to our country. We have knowledge of who she is. Many young voters now were not mature enough during the Former President Clinton years to see what he did for our country, therefore, they really don't know that when Clinton left office we were not in the mess we are in now. I believe Mrs. Clinton will use proper judgment to regain respect around the world. Whether people like it or not, the Clintons have the respect among many countries around the world with the exception of those countries that hate America in general no matter who is the president. Mr. Obama is a good speaker but unfortunately, he doesn't have the experience necessary to lead the most powerful country in the world. I read his biography and I read Mrs. Clinton and I was impressed by Mrs. Clinton achievements. We can all dream about change, but dreams are only dreams and reality will set in as we elect our next president. We have to use proper judgment and vote not based on emotions or any other reasons, but rather on qualifications. Mr. Obama's judgment in staying for 20 years in a church where his pastor spoke against America to be more specific the United States of America, the country that has given him everything and on top of that developing a very close relationship/friendship to the point that he married him and baptized his children; I find this very strange. His pastor should be preaching about the love of Jesus, how we can each contribute to do good deeds to one another and not saying things to harvest hate in the African American community towards whites, and worst to say things against our government in which Mr. Obama is an active member a senator. If we stay in a church and have a pastor that says the things Mr. Obama’s pastor has been saying I find very difficult to believe Mr. Obama didn't share those values. I strongly believe that the church is a place of worship to pray. The world leaders need prayers. The church is a sanctuary holy to teach how we get along with one another and to reach out to those in needs and to propagate the love of God. I never thought that a pastor could be saying” God Damn America" unbelievable… we live in this country and I cannot understand how Mr. Obama stayed in his church for so long, if my pastor was talking bad about my U.S. Government or claiming things that are our government is doing without proof than I would not associate with him and would let him know those are not the right thing to do or abide for. This is why I cannot trust someone that stayed in his church for this long. I know for a fact I have stayed in my church because the pastors I listen to, do not get involved in politics but their job is to teach us to live in peace. I say to all of you please be humble and pray that God guides the hearts and minds of all voters to elect the correct person. During the Bill Clinton presidency he engage in wars but proper judgment was used when it came to big decisions when he was in office. We were not in the mess we are in. Apart from his personal situation – that didn’t stop him from being one of the best presidents ever or the best. All my respect to Mrs. Clinton, I pray that you are the one to help America get back on track with the healthcare, immigration, and foreign police and we can enjoy better years to come for our America. God Bless American.

is that good enough for you, or do you want it in alphabetical order too?

BO is smooth and intelligent but he is so green it makes me laugh. He is also at least intellectually dishonest and has no respect for the American people's intelligence. The issue of Wright is laughable....how can you sit there for 20 years listening to this racism and ignorance, have the man baptise your kids and preside over your wedding, donate $1000s to his church and THEN after it is all publicised say you disavow it! What a load of crap! The fact is he accepted and embraced all that talk. Oprah went to the same church...heard the crap and quit! She has the integrity and courage to stand up for her beliefs and actions NOT BO! In Hawaii, he attended the most elitist institution you can attend...where they educated the children of the missionaries and businesspeople who overthrew the Hawaiian monarchy. The school up to the 50-60s did not take Asians or Hawaiians only whites. They liberalized under pressure but the mindsets there have been very elitist thoughout.

Obama might one day be experienced enough to be president BUT he doesnt have the integrity and honor to be president and many in Hawaii WILL NOT vote for him. The rest of the nation should follow their lead in rejecting their own.

Ignorance is a disease indeed. Misinformation is as bad as ignorance. Why is it that Obama is held to different standards than Mccain or Hillary. It's so hypocritical

blah, blah, blah, blah.......She must be the sorest loser ever. Says alot about her true character. Lets see whether she will get her New York senate seat back when that comes up for grab.

Let us face it, Democracy is about numbers. As a neutral person and non-American, I would say let the candidate with math on his side win. I admire a lot about the Clinton's, especially BILL, he made America a proud Nation which was loved by both friends and foe. However, their is time even for a good cook to leave the kitchen. The world is watching and waiting eagerly for the message you will send. As American you made a big mistake in 2000 I hope your not about to make the same mistake because of race, color, religion, gender among others. Please send a candidate the embodies the aspirations of humanity in the 21st century. When I read statements like, "America is not ready for a man!!

Some thought for the Voters…. Looking for Presidential material in Mr Obama.

Has he got what it takes ..it will be too late after he is elected, and you desire to change your mind.
He is a Lawyer…
How many years has he practiced law, that career is now at an end and he now giving it up.
He appears as a honest person, but he has not been in any position as such to be a proven honest
He obtained some experience in State legislature, but for how long.
He can talk that is true, he is a great communicator, most lawyers are, and he promises much.
But these are just promises none of which may come to pass.
He appears friendly that also is true, politicians are always friendly till they get elected.
Where is all his political experience, that I do not see. How many years has he had in the Senate.
Where does his experience come from to be knowledgeable about our economy and our country..
Where does his experience come from to be Commander in Chief of all the Military in USA.
Where on earth has all his campaign money come from, he is not a rich man, he does however know some people who to say the least, have a reputation that is soiled and associated with people of ill repute.
He is a religious man, but the church he attended appears to have been one he should have rejected many years ago, simply because of his minister, but he even got married in that particular church by that minister.
I am always particularly interested when someone can raise money in the large volume that he has, and it begs an explanation.
Who does he know and what does he feel obligated to do for that amount of funding, from those that supplied the cash.
There is no free lunch , someone is expecting large favors from this gentleman when he becomes president .
It will be interesting to see the outcome in the future.

Hillary will tell you anything for a vote. Her playbook is "what do they think they want to hear" She is desperate. Just look at her drinking her shot in a PA bar. What a fish out of water! She didn't think through the gas tax thing. Obama will tell us what we need to hear- the facts. Hillary is a has been. Pack your bags and go back to Scranton PA and do some hunting and some drinking with your bitter white, Baptist, shot drinking friends.

Our Country is like a giant Corp, like Walmart ,who would you want to run it,
some one with years of Experience or a Rookie like Obama.

You Go Girl !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hillary is like the chick who gets fired from the job and shows up for work the next day. Please one of her supporters tell her she has lost. The American people rejected her with their votes and with their donations. Why do you think one candidate is getting millions of $100 donations and the other has to loan herself millions and still can't keep up? Could it be even her vocal blog supporters do not believe in her enough to financially back her failing campaign?

Face it white people, you have a real test in front of you, will you vote for the best candidate, or will you be blinded by racial hatred and irrational fears? If America is to be what it says it is, it is time for you to prove it with your votes,

Hillary was quoting an AP comment when she talked about white hard working people. Get real people. She is the best candidate. Most Hillary supporters will NOT vote for Obama. He has too much baggage. GO HILLARY

I'm currently travelling in southeast asia been here now for almost 2 months. Met some expats and they can't believe their fellow Americans as being so gullible and easily deceived. Because Obama said he's not a muslim it has to be true. There is a huge population of muslims here in southeast asia and l have spoken to a few and all said Obama is a muslim and the US will have it's first muslim president.

you don't march into washington warning everyone in advance that you are gonna CHANGE the way things are done. you keep your mouth shut and stick it to them once you get there. 'cause ya know why??? 'CAUSE NOT ONLY THEIR KIND...BUT ALSO YOUR KIND...will be linked arm in arm against everything you try to effect, that's why.
this is where obama's naivete shows.
this is a job for a pro...a good old backstabbing pro.
hillary...you have my vote...

I will not be able to vote in the election this year for the simple reason that I am not an American citizen, and I do not live in the USA. But here's the twist. Whoever you elect will be my president too. Whatever actions are taken by the next incumbent will affect me. The USA remains the world's only real super-power and whatever you folks decide to do will change my life, one way or another. So, for what's its worth, here's an alien's take on the options in front of you: whoever you choose will be infinitely better than the time-server currently in the White House. The damage GW has done to your coutry's reputation will take quite some rebuilding. But look at your options in 2008: a bright, moderately-conservative but above all independently-minded war hero; a tough-minded and compassionate fighter for the little guy (Hilary, maybe something of a Republican in drag); and out of nowhere this charismatic, smart and oh-so-gentlemanly Afican-American candidate who -- amazingly -- seems almost electible. People of America, do you know how lucky you are?! Most countries can only envy that breadth of choice. Me, I'd vote for Obama anyway, but then what do you expect because I'm European. Still, the things you should hold dear are (a) your votes really do count and (b) gee, your candidates are all genuinely strong. Go USA!

If gas is $4.00 a gallon, If the Iraq war is still going bad, If President Bush's approval rating is at 30%, Who really cares if McCain is too old, whether he voted for Clinton or not, whether he can't tell sunni from Shia, Whether or not Reverend Wright or Ayers will hurt Obama, whether we care if Clinton came under fire in Bosnia, The people will want CHANGE!!!!

Obama is better than Hillary I will vote republican if he doesn't win!

Oh well I'll vote McCain if OBAMA wins!!!

Bunch of crazies. Outright lying because you've been driven into a tiff by the primaries. Sorry, Obama and Hillary are largely identical on the position, if you vote for McCain instead of either one of them you are a bloody moron, and the consequences will be yours to bear.

It is amazing that Mr. Obama , who has a positive messsage and mission
has so many negative , hateful supporters. They need to listen to him and then
listen to themselves. There is a definite disconnect !

If Barack Obama buys his nomination, it is the hope of many hard working Americans that Senator Hillary Clinton will leave the DNC and run in the general election as an Independent candidate and beat both Obama and McCain. Visit www.hillaryclinton.com and express your desire for Hillary to run as an Independent to level the playing field against media bias and the disenfranchisement of Florida and Michigan. Who cares about the DNC? Obviously Howard Dean does not care about its members. We are voting for a President, not a party. Donate to Hillary. Protest the premature coronation of Obama by the main stream media.

The race is over. If you believe the same things that McCain believes, then you should and must vote for him.
McCain believes the economy is great, Americans are doing well, and the the war in Iraq is a great success among other nonsensical things.
I was for Clinton too, but, I must tell you, Obama and Clinton are closer than you think.
Don't vote your fears, vote your hopes and aspirations. Our greatest President, Lincoln, had even less "experience" than Obama, but, he was still out greatest President! Experience is a loose term with weight. When the campaign truly begins, you will learn that McCain is truly a useless candidate and will be defeated by any Democratic nominee.
Don't use emotional irrational feelings to base your vote on. Vote for your future, vote Obama!

Go ahead and vote for McCain ladies. In exchange for your vote, you'll get a free apron and a box of coat-hangers for your daughters and grnad-daughters.

That'll really teach us misogynists a lesson.

I sure hope ObamaNation will get behind Hillary when the time comes, because folks, that's how it's going to be.

MARK THESE WORDS. Obama could have never won, and the GOP and the GOP mainstream media have known it from the very beginning and exploited it. America is FAR more racist than it is misogynist, and that's that. There are already more white women in positions of power than there are black men despite decades of affirmative action, and them's the facts.

It's time to end the myth that Obama cannot get white votes. This is pure hogwash. He would not be leading in elected delegates if he could not get white votes. Who won CO, ID, WA,UT, ND, IA which are so called "white" states? He will go on to win OR and very possibly MT too

Obama has indeed gotten and continues to get white votes. PA and IN and OH really shows us that there are still pockets of entrenched racism in this country. How is that surprising?

Emotions between supporters of both Democratic candidates run very high at this time which is understandable. I personally disregard much of the animus at this time. Most Democrats will vote for the Democratic candidate in November whomever it is in the end.

In the end, all Democrats will be forced to answer who will do a better job of selecting judges to the Supreme Court ? This is by far THE most important acid test for all these candidates. I venture to say Democratic voters will realize that either Democrat will do a far better job of that than will McCain.

If Democratic voters emerge from this process hellbent to vote against their own best interests then they deserve what they get.

I will be voting for Obama. Hillary is damm divisive, racist and liar. I will not vote for Hillary at all. Period.

Hillary will definately make the best president and she should stay in the race until it's over - i will not vote for Obama

You people are so dumb!.
Hillary just can't come out and say that America's white trash won't vote for Obama.
Look at the way the media reacted to his "bitter...cling" comments.
How many hints do you need dropped?

And after moving away from Boston and Massachusetts some years ago I realized there's much more white trash out there than it looks from Boston.
This is still to a large extent a country of racist morons. Extremely under-educated population that thinks that America is a class-less society, that capitalism is manna from heaven, and that a "n....r" shuld never be allowed into the White House.
While it's not too late, prevent President McCAin. Vote Hillary.

Dukakis was chosen because he was more "electable". Kerry was chosen because he was more "electable". Gore was chosen because he was more "electable".
Great litmus test.

Hmmm, tasty.

I like Kool-aid. Lets drink some more.

If Hilary is claiming this thin slice of demographics means she has broader support base to win in November why is she behind in popular votes and fund raising - aren't those the best measure of the depth of support a candidate has?

If you dont vote for Obama, you are a racist

You people are all little children having a tantrum because you can't have it your way. If you want to vote for mccain and lose roe vs wade, lose thousands more of our troops, then go ahead. We will win in November without you.

Obama won fair and square, which is more than I can say Clinton was trying to do. He has twice as many states, ~150 more pledged delegates, and more popular votes won, even if you count Florida and Michigan!

If Hillary was more electable, then she would be winning in at least ONE of these contests.

It is amazing no matter how much she lies and cheats there are still some dumb sheeps voting for Hillary.....unbelievable.

I am a John McCain supporter and I agree with Hillary. She *is* unquestionably the stronger candidate, and she definitely has a better chance of beating Mr.McCain. That is why I, like other McCain supporters, am very relieved she's not going to be the nominee. Obama's going to get smoked. You go, Obama.

Over 16 million people support Hillary Clinton. I beg to differ with you, Obama is trying to ruin the Democratic Party. With his Inner city concerts he thinks he is a rock star. Pleeease, do not listen to the Republican media, they do not have your best interest at heart. Makes you wonder why a candidate would go into our needy inner cities have his reading of material a 26 year old person wrote,and make a mess for that city. Yes, each city has to pay extra hours for policemen and the next day city workers clean up the mess. At whose expense? Hillary is going to follow a similiar plan of putting 100,000 new policemen in the cities. When Mr. Clintin did this you can note the graph, crime wsent down. We need a can do President, Hillary has history on her side. The obama folks are gamblers. So in Las Vegas some people win, but most lose. They want to gamble. No Thanks. Ladies and Gentlemen, turn off the Republican owned media. You cannot get a fair reporting in November .

I wonder why Republicans are attacking Obama and not Hillary? Could it be they are more afraid of him than her? And if, so then it would appear that he is perceived by them as being the stronger Democratic candidate of the two. So far that seems to be the case based on number of votes earned not to mention money raised - which by the way has enabled him to significantly outspend her.

I have never voted republican in my life. If Barak is running against McCain, McCain will have my vote. I have many friends that feel the same way. A vote for Barack is a vote for McCain for President. HRC is the only one who can win against McCain

No matter how much you dislike Obama, giving your vote for McCain this November that's downright shameful and unforgivable. So, unite with us, don't go to the Dark Side ...

Obama let his ego reign over his judgment and has presented nothing more than an attractive image. It is doubtful he can win against McCain and ridiculous to think he can govern well. He should step aside for the good of the country, but campaigning seems to be all he knows.

I think all Hillary supporters should donate their $2,300.00 limit so she can pay her bills, after all, you don't need to eat, and you can walk to work so she can take her "Hillforce one", give her a break and donate so she can keep her 109 milliion bucks. Go Hillary supporters!

There are so many of us non-Democrats that hope we have the chance to vote for Obama in November.

Obama will win.

The Clintons - deservedly or not - elicit too much passion to draw any crossover votes. And while a few racist, poorly educated Democrats may pull for McCain - out of spite - it won't be many.

While I have respect for McCain's record and accomplishements, he will only continue failed policies, he lacks the vitality for the job, and his surrender to a foreign power during time of war makes him suspect.

I am white, middle class and a Vietnam-Era veteran. And there are many more just like me who are no longer by-the-book supporters of this administration.

I can not believe in: Judgment You Can Trust & Change We Can Believe In

Why? 20 years with Rev Wright. Oprah left a long time ago. That means she has better judgment than Obama.

I want to see Tom's wife bum

Since when do Democratic candidates, even when down, quit? Her husband didn't get the nomination until late June. Is it because she is a woman that everyone expects her to "fall in line" and drop out? I have no idea how she manages to get up, dust herself off after the media, Washington fatcats and others slap her and show disrespect (see T. Kennedy as the latest example). Many men and women of less fortitude and commitment would have sulked off sucking their thumb. God bless her! There are many of us who have no loyalty to a party that has demonstrated such ineptitude and obvious bullying, but rather to the person we know can get the job done, well, NOW. There are many of us who are hoping she runs as an Independent for the sham of a party the Democratic Party has become. I don't vote for a party, I vote for a person.

Let this thing play out and have faith in the "unifying" abilities of Obama, if he is the nominee. But DO NOT push, force, hint or plead with this amazing Senator CLinton to end this race. Too many of us have already decided who our choice is, and it is NOT Senator Obama.

Hillary Democrats know that Hillary can carry November for the National, State, and Local Tickets. Teddy's annointed one is a big mistake for the party and those who hope to get elected. The annointed one has done nothing to unify the party and never will. He has dissed Small-Town America and rural America. He is laden with problems. He cannot win the elctorate of the working class. So, we look forward to victories for Hillary in West Virginia and Kentucky and we surely look forward to November. Let these voters send a shock wave toward the party leadership, the super delegates, and the annointed one.

Dennis
I notice that there are a few people here who secretly wear white gowns and pointed white hoods. When you rant and rave like you did, it pretty much confirms that, because you have nothing intelligent to say.

I don’t like Hillary. She is divisive and not very strategic. Her plans a populist, like the idiotic gas tax rebate for the summer. Hell - why doesn't she just promise to end taxes and we should all vote for her. She will raise taxes and so will Obama, so I may not vote for Obama if he plans to raise capital gains taxes (which is dumb and only people with white pointed hoods would do that).

I will vote on economics - i.e. who will make the sensible economic decisions like lower capital gains further and take away the ridiculous break to billionaire VCs and PE and Hedge Fund partners who get to treat multimillion dollar paydays as capital gains. This is simply theft from the rest of working America.

Who will encourage going green. Who will increase funding for science and research and education. Unlike the idiot in the white house today who basically has the intellect of a chimp.

So Dennis – go back to school and learn economics not bigotry. Learn to read and speak coherently also.

Shame on who? The vast majority of hateful and racial comments are coming from Obama supporters. They are accusing Hillary of the very things of which they are guilty. In my opinion, hatred of the Clintons is born out of jealousy, ignorance and/or hypocrisy. Paul May, you were ten years old when Bill Clinton took office and eighteen when Bush took over. How much do you know from personal experience about our economy or our standing in the world was during the Clinton years? By the way, I hope your second grade teacher doesn't read your blog. And finally, Tom, your parting comment speaks volumes about your own 'disengenious'.

Hillary, you cannot win any longer. By staying in the race you only split the party apart. There's no way that you're going to get the nomination. Please leave. We don't want to vote for you because by voting for you we're effectively putting Bill Clinton back in office. And do we want a president who was extremely close to being impeached and who was as much of a male whore as you can get back in office? No we don't!
